Close to forty talented Irish designers and craftspeople will be showcasing their work in the magnificent surroundings of Dalkey Castle and Heritage Centre at ‘Winter Fair’, which takes place on Saturday November 14th and Saturday November 15th. Organised as a free event by the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Enterprise Board, the popular annual two-day retail fair will showcase the talents of locally-based designers and makers.
With craftspeople representing the jewellery, interior accessories, knitwear, textiles, ceramics and fashion sectors taking part, organisers are expecting thousands of Christmas shoppers to attend Winter Fair over the two days.
Suzanne May, chief organiser of the Winter Fair, has been actively involved in the Craft and Design sector in Ireland for many years. “Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown is notable by the number of talented local businesses producing creative and exciting products. Our annual Winter Fair will give the public a unique opportunity to meet the designers and makers themselves and see the extensive range of fantastic goods not commonly available,” she said.
With free admission on both days, the fifth annual Winter Fair is open from 11am to 5pm in Dalkey Castle and Heritage Centre on Saturday November 14th and Sunday November 15th. Further information about the Winter Fair is available at www.dlrceb.ie
